Compared to last week, boning type slaughter cows were 2.00 to 3.00 higher; there were too few comparable breaking type slaughter cows and slaughter bulls the previous week to establish an adequate market comparison. Feeder cattle were sharply higher. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were fairly heavy. Cattle quality was average. Baby calves were 105.00 per head.
